Catherine the Great causes clashes in Odessa

A man, who's thought to be a priest, has been detained as Ukrainian Cossacks clashed with police in the city of Odessa. The fighting took place around a monument to the Russian Empress, Catherine the Great.

It was demolished in 1920 but reconstructed this summer – a move strongly opposed by the Ukrainian Cossacks.

After the clashes ended about 50 of them directed their steps to the city hall demanding negotiations with the Mayor.
